Abstract: In this analysis, variations in net returns are measured in terms of deviations from the mean of the series, and negative deviations from an equally- and unequally-weighted moving averages in a MOTAD framework. Results reflect substantial differences in production activities, expected net returns and relative variability of the farm plan depending upon the method used to measure dispersion of net returns.
